Outdoor Chelsea Planters

Our Chelsea planters bring a clean, architectural line to gardens, patios and terraces, in squares, cylinders and troughs sized from a compact 22cm up to a substantial 65cm. Chelsea planters are made from fibreclay: processed ground stone bound with resin and fibre. It gives the appearance and visual weight of stone at a fraction of the actual weight, so a large planter can be moved by one person, and it takes a drill cleanly if a drainage hole needs adding.

We deliver within the M25, with charges by postcode zone. See our delivery page, or collect from the shop in Kentish Town.

About Our Garden Chelsea Planters

Chelsea planters are typically crafted from fibreclay. Some finishes use a faux lead treatment that mimics the patina of a traditional lead container without the weight, so a planter that would once have needed two people to lift can now be repositioned by one. All are designed to resist UV damage and frost, holding their colour and structure through a full London growing year outdoors.

Chelsea planters work well following the thriller, filler, spiller formula, and their clean square, cylinder and trough shapes frame entrances and walkways particularly well, whether that means a single planter either side of a front door or a grouped, layered display of varying heights. Grouping planters in odd numbers, threes rather than pairs, tends to create a more natural rhythm than a strictly symmetrical arrangement.

The range runs from the 22cm Chelsea Square Planter, suited to a balcony or a compact patio, up to 65cm statement pieces designed to anchor a larger garden or commercial entrance. Every size is chosen to suit both residential gardens and commercial spaces such as offices and terraces.

Chelsea Plant Pots & Planters Popular Questions

What are Chelsea planters made from? -
Most are made from fibreclay, which is designed to resist UV damage and frost, and some finishes use a faux lead treatment for a classic look without the weight of real lead or stone.
Can Chelsea planters be used indoors as well as outdoors? +
Yes. Although designed for outdoor durability, their clean lines suit indoor settings such as offices and lobbies too. Whatever the setting, check the planter has drainage holes, or use a saucer, before adding compost and plants.
How do I arrange Chelsea planters for the best effect? +
Group them in odd numbers for a natural rhythm, and layer plant heights within each planter using the thriller, filler, spiller method. A matching pair either side of a doorway works well for symmetry, while a single large planter often makes a stronger statement than several small ones.
